Dockers will buckle... hold firm to 4&5 they simply can’t afford to not land hogan now. And he’s contracted so we have named our price.

And we hold all the cards so if they don’t wanna deal we hang onto him and back ourselves to convince him to stay with a flag tilt or west cost get involved in the conversation in 12 months time

The thing freo will be very aware of is Jesse isn’t 100% on staying or leaving and there is a serious possibility if he stayed and we had s great year and won the flag or went close, he may well decide this is pretty exciting I’m going to stick around. This may be their only chance because he’s already knocked them back multiple times so they won’t risk it by haggling too much, they know he’s worth 4&5 and that’s what they will give up. If they want to swap 5 to the power and give us 4&9 they can throw in Alex Pearce as well to further bolster our backline we hold all the cards. If freo want him, he’s theirs by they have to pay the price we set, and they should be grateful, given the player Jesse is and will become 4&5 is pretty reasonable. Treloar was 2&7 and Jesse is a key position player as well.. if Gibbs, treloar and lever are 2 first rounders then Jesse possibly is more like 3

He definitely meant draft picks because we made a significant play at gaff. we have the cap room for both. Not the picks to trade

This kid is a potential A grader. I think a lot of posters are going to be eating humble pie when they realise just how good this kid is. He has as much talent as any of our young mids.

tell them 4&5 or no deal. They will take it because they’re so desperate for anything to sell to their supporters. It would be a huge when it’s done for us.

Memo to dees supporters: if one of our blokes is on the trade table talk them up not down. Sample diagloue: dom Tyson has never missed a target in his life. Has dom even fumbled a ball before?

May could easily be the difference between another prelim and a grand final or even flag. It’s one last really big weakness

And dean Kent

Very happy with this news

Totally agree and he’s still contracted and the dockers want him desperately. If they are willing to offer him 1.2 mil a year they will have a hard time explaining why they shouldn’t cough up #5 & #6 for him and both parties walk away with what they want

If may is indeed coming on board, it seems likely one of frost or Oscar may assess their options outside of the club given they will find themselves at Casey for a lot of the season

Carlton is probably his only chance. Maybe freo if they lose Neale

I think the only reason he hasn’t re-signed with the eagles is the stupid $$ on offer. I don’t know if it would be easy for us to get into this conversation without matching or going close.

We have to use one every few years I believe so if we get one for this year we can potentially trade it

I feel like you’re over valuing Tyson a little there. I suspect Tyson might be worth about that pick 35 mark. So really it’s 33,35 -24,25 though Tyson and our 2019 first round pick for those two might be more fair assuming it’s pick 15-18

I agree and they have put it out there they don’t want the will he won’t be circus next year. I personally think a pick around 9-10 for may would be a good outcome

If they finish last the compo pick might be pick 2..

I don’t think we should be waiting around for freo to make a trade with port. We should do that ourselves. Set the price 5&6 if they want him pay up otherwise keep him for another year. Freo are desperate for anything to sell their members and they will cave hogan is exactly what they need to sell hope and avoid slipping into long term irrelevance. if we do this we could make the trade with port and get steven May into the club as well as 2 top 10 picks to on trade or take to the draft.

The only way this happens is if the trade requirements that the MFC have put on the table, and freo have In principal agreed to are not met by the dockers. This has been going on a while

Agreed. I think we can carry one of Oscar or frost, not both, and if we could get someone else as well that’s a bonus

Agreed. I’d take cerra and a pick for hogan in a heart beat.

Sorry mate Kolodjashnij. It’s definitely sad to see him go but I was also told very reliably no senior member at the club didn’t think this was a serious possibility. So plans are in place

Reliably told Jesse has A. Formally asked to be traded to Fremantle. B. The dockers have agreed in principal to 2 first round picks this year for hogan will be either 6 &10 or 9&10 and an exchange of later picks. Some haggling to go on there. Steven may looking all but certain to join in exchange for one of those picks. I suspect kk will be involved in that deal. apologies if this news is already known, I haven’t been able to keep track on this thread.

Gotta do what’s best for his family as sad as it would be to see him go!
